(x2) Well The Golden Rose sailed with a broken man Going south    Got on board with a woman to lead him around By the mouth   And it's goodbye Golden Rose   Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose  Well the captain who swears if he speaks at all Wears a gun   Got a first maid who's never quite on the ball For his son   And it's goodbye Golden Rose   Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose  Wish I was back in her arms again Wish I was holding her tight Wish I was back in her arms again Safe from the night (x2) She stood on the shore and she waved to me: "Come back home"   Many a-night I would think of her All alone  And it's goodbye Golden Rose   Yeah it's goodbye Golden Rose  (x2)
